The Catholic Truth vs. Dan Brown

The DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons and The Lost Symbol … de-coded

Dan Brown's book The DaVinci Code was on the bestseller
lists for weeks. The movie, directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks, premiered to lukewarm reviews. The precursor to The DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons, has been released in movie form. Dan Brown's new book, "The Lost Symbol," explores the mysteries behind freemasonry.
